0:00.0	Welcome to a Year in the Bible with Daily Grace. My name is Kristen and my name is Katie and we want to spend a few minutes a day with you walking through the New Testament one chapter at a time.
0:11.0	This year we will fix our gaze upon Christ so that we may know him, not only with our minds but with our hearts.
0:17.0	Together we will learn that who Jesus is changes everything.
0:22.8	Hey friends, welcome to a year in the Bible with Daily Grace. My name is Katie, and it is my joy to walk with you through First Thessalonians in our year-long study of the New Testament.
0:33.8	Today, we are studying First Thessalonians for. As always, you can follow along with the Behold studies in the Daily Grace Coat Shop or with the reading plan linked in the show notes.
0:44.7	So far, in First Thessalonians, Paul has reflected on his relationship with the church.
0:49.7	The Thessalonians have been a great source of encouragement for Paul and his team.
0:53.9	They are evidence of the Holy Spirit's power to work and establish believers for Christ's glory, even amidst unfavorable circumstances.

1:35.4	him rebuke other churches like Corinth and Galatia, but not Thessalonica. They have brought Paul
1:41.6	much joy and encouragement. But that doesn't mean the Thessalonians were perfect.
1:46.5	Though Timothy's visit brought back good news of their faith flourishing,
1:50.3	it seems that the visit did reveal some struggles of the fledgling church.
1:54.9	Today, Paul will provide some encouragement to address these struggles.
1:59.0	Remember yesterday when Paul desired that he could complete what was
2:02.2	lacking in their faith? Well, today, in this chapter, he provides three encouragements to help
2:08.4	them do just that. First, Paul implores the Thessalonians to abstain from sexual immorality.
